Mrs. Clara B. MilIington, of Wichita,
was here last week introducing Gen.
Logan's book, 1.-The Great Conflict, -
and that latest and most amusing
book, "Saramantha at Saratoga" by
Josiah Aliens wife. The Logan book
is said to be the most entertaining his
tory of the rebellion yet published, and
it should be in the hands of every old
soldier. ''Saramantha" is a complete
revelation of high life at the watering
places, and its description of the dudes
dudines is something entirely original.
Persons who did not avail themselves
of the opportunity of subscribing for
either or both of these books last week,
can address Mrs. MIllington at Wich-
tia.
A game of base ball was played last
Sunday afternoon between the Medicine
Lodge nine and team from Deerhead,
which resulted as usual, in a victory
for the home team, the score being So
TO Al. The game commenced about 2
O'Clock, and lasted till $50, and then
was not finished, being called at the
close of the eighth inning. If the other
inning had been played, the score would
have run up to the neighborhood of so
runs for the home team, as they seemed
to play better at the latter end of the
game, and in the seventh inning made
25 runs. At one time the visitors were
IA points ahead. The umpire, 10. VIII
son, of Deerhead, was struck on the
nose by red-hot ball, and fell like a
beef. DR.. S. a. Warner then umpired
the game. George Hubbard had one
finger badly used up, and retired from
the field, and Shorty" the catcher,
caught hot one where he did not want
it. He was awfully disguised but did
not retire. Mckay and shorty did
good catching. The visiting team was
bruised and skinned up somewhat, but
not much damaged. The game closed
in time for all the boys to go to church,
as most of them claimed to have en-
g9Sements. -
